　　Why are Children Lacking Sleep?

　　Just how important is school nowadays? Teachers often complain that homework is not done well and that students are often arriving at school delayed and yawningthrough lack of sleep.

　　There are, it seems, two main explanations for this. Firstly, many young children stay up late to watch TV programs suitable for them, which may finish as late as 8:00. No child wants to admit not having seen what everybody else has.

　　Secondly, a growing number of older children, particularly those approaching school leaving age are taking up part time evening or weekend work. They feel that working experience, not academic qualification will help them find jobs on leaving school.

　　One can sympathize with both groups of children but it doesn’t make a teacher’s life any easier.

　　行文點(diǎn)評：

　　文章開頭先描述了學(xué)�，F(xiàn)在普遍存在的一種現(xiàn)象。孩子們因?yàn)槿庇X，不是作業(yè)完成不好，就是上課遲到呵欠連天。出現(xiàn)這種情況到底是為什么呢?接下來的兩段中分別陳述了兩種可能的解釋。其一是孩子們要熬夜看電視節(jié)目，因?yàn)樗麄儾辉敢獬姓J(rèn)自己沒看到別人都看過的節(jié)目。其二是快要畢業(yè)的孩子在做兼職，因?yàn)楣ぷ鹘?jīng)歷非常重要。最后文章得出結(jié)論：雖然這兩種情況似乎都有情可原，但卻給老師帶來了麻煩。

　　文章短小精煉，結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊。開篇以問句形式引出話題，引起讀者關(guān)注。隨后提出現(xiàn)象然后進(jìn)行闡述。兩種解釋之間用firstly和secondly引出，實(shí)現(xiàn)了段落與段落之間的聯(lián)系，保證了全文的連貫性。
